Twilight Sleep

Check these guys out. Another favorite of Silversun Pickups and, again, shocking that I've never heard of them.

There's a band out of LA called Twilight Sleep and I'm totally into them. I have to say, though, given they don't have a website and are only on MySpace, they might want to put a bio on MySpace to make it easier to write about them and know what they're all about.

As I've stated many times, I'm a curator of information and don't have much desire to be a music critic or wax poetic about music. That having been said, here's what a few other folks have said: "...their signature sound: plaintive Bjork-like singing and outer space keys, mixed in a minor register. Marcellino's voice was breathy, bolstered by interesting drum breaks, heavy, echoey bass lines, and electric guitar." and "A lusty siren of the Siouxsie Sioux variety guides you through this dreamland dripping with rockin guitars and fanciful synthesizers and politely crashing drums. My favorite track here might actually be Broken Record which mellows things out for awhile with a gloomy seranade to the stars. Worth seeing live if you have the chance..."

Check out their MySpace (does their MySpace = TheirSpace???) to test drive some of their songs and read more press blurbs. The music is amazing and the lead singer's voice is lusty, breathy, and hypnotizing, as noted above.

Make sure to check out Race To The Bottom of the Sea on Rhapsody, where you can buy it if you like it.
